Last spring and summer, slip on sneakers were all the rage. For spring 2015, both slip on sneakers and tie sneakers are all the rage. Three cheers for comfortable casual fashion! 

Not only have designers and brands created beautiful, fashion-forward slip on sneakers and tie sneakers for spring and summer 2015, these style have been spotted on fashionable feet on the street, and in the tents, at New York Fashion Week! Love that!

Sneakers for spring and summer 2015 are being shown in a variety of prints, colors, and textures. Florals are a huge trend in sneakers for spring 2015. Kate Spade famously showed her floral sneakers at fashion week for spring and summer 2015; and she isn’t the only designer seeing flowers for the warm weather season. In addition to florals, designers are showing snake print, animal print, and tie-dye prints on their spring 2015 sneakers. 

As shoe styles trend toward more flat styles, and the fashion crowd tires of mega high heels, sneakers are the perfect, comfortable alternative to the current flats, and flat sandal trend. Sneakers are easy to wear, stay put on your feet, and tell the world you are uber cool. Love that!

Sneakers in both slip on and tie form are being shown with a variety of apparel styles for spring 2015. You can wear them with sundresses, casual dresses, midi skirts, mini skirts, and even maxi skirts! Of course sneakers always look amazing with jeans, shorts, and anything traditionally deemed “weekend casual.” Did I state the obvious?

If you have a pair of slip on sneakers from last spring, and they haven’t been worn out, then you are all set for the spring 2015 sneaker season! If you would like to update your wardrobe, look for a pair of tie sneakers since they are the newest sneaker on the street. Well, not really “new,” but new to fashion as a hot trend of the season; because yes, we all own sneakers, but not sneakers like the ones being shown this season!

I found a few fabulous slip on sneakers, and tie sneakers around the web, and I assembled them into the shopping widgets below. I hope you love them! I have my eyes on the floral pair featured above. I feel like I need them in my life. Which pair do you like? Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Flat sandals for spring 2015 are making a big splash this season! As fashion trends toward flats rather than heels, flat sandals for the spring season are offing many options which are on trend. Here are the trends to look for this spring 2015 season in flat sandals:

Gladiator: Gladiator sandals are back. They are being shown in both short and long versions which reach up towards the knee. Gladiator sandals are being shown mainly in neutral hues, pale metallics, and soft whites. Look for ties, wraps, and anything which transports you to ancient Greece.

Denim: Denim shoes are an emerging trend for spring. As denim quietly appears on more than just apparel, shoes are moving to the forefront of fashion as an easy way to rock the denim trend for spring on a day when temperatures are too warm for a pair of jeans. Look for denim sandals with cut outs, ankle tie’s, and in gladiator styles. The color should be a medium “wash” which can easily be worn in the spring and summer seasons.

Flatforms: The flatform is showing no sign of slowing down for the spring season. Look for lug soles, rubber soles, cork soles, and high espadrille styles. Flatforms offer ankle straps and simple styles such as one thick strap across the foot. Look for simple, no-fuss silhouettes in neutral colors which can easily be worn this spring, into summer, and into early fall. And yes, you can wear socks them; after all, designers showed flatforms with socks for fall 2015, so this is a trend worth investing in if you love it!

Birkenstocks and copy-cats: Birkenstocks are still hot for spring 2015 as they are the most authentic way to rock the 1970’s trend in a flat sandal. Not only are Birkenstock sandals a hot trend, many designers have copied the style and are showing their own Birkenstock “inspired” styles for the spring season. Of course, since the original is moderately priced, there really is no reason to go with a copy cat. Be original, wear the original.
